This Wrestling/Boxing Blogger is Complaining About Comcast

As in me. Yes me! In this post I am going to complain about my Comcast service.
You see today’s New York Times contained an article about how Comcast responds to complaining bloggers via email or even in the post’s comment page. I’ve complained slightly about Comcast in a prior post but I guess [...]

Jeff Lacy Wins Another Controversial Decision

Yesterday at www.jabandgrapple.com we asked “Does Jeff Lacy Still Have It?” and last night on ESPN2’s Wednesday Night Fights we got a resounding answer: not at all. Lacy’s (24-1-0) majority decision victory over Epifanio Mendoza (28-6-1) was due in equal parts to Mendoza’s lack of a finishing instinct and dubious ringside judging.
Mendoza had Lacy [...]

Does Jeff Lacy Still Have It?

Jeff Lacy was a rising super middleweight star prior to his March 4, 2006 demolition at the hands of Joe Calzaghe. Since then things haven’t been the same for the 2000 U.S. Olympian.

Alexander Povetkin Wins By KO Without Landing A Clean Punch

The highest Ring Magazine-ranked boxer in “action” last weekend was Russian heavyweight Alexander Povetkin although it’s not as if his opponent Taurus Sykes actually wanted to fight. Povetkin, Ring’s #5 heavyweight, won by KO in the fourth round. Sykes spent the entire fight grasping and holding. When the White Lion finally managed to graze him [...]
